    Russia Sentences U.S. Journalist to 16 years in Prison

    A Russian court on Friday found a U.S journalist, Evan Gershkovich, guilty of espionage and sentenced him to 16 years in a maximum-security colony.

    Numerous Russian news agencies reported from the court in Yekaterinburg.

    He was accused of gathering information on the Uralvagonzavod defence equipment factory in Nizhny Tagil on behalf of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

    Nizhny Tagil lies 130 kilometres to the north of Yekaterinburg.

    Gershkovich was earlier arrested in March 2023

    Like many Western journalists, Gershkovich had worked and researched in Russia with accreditation from the Foreign Ministry in Moscow. #Russia Sentences U.S. Journalist to 16 years in Prison#
